Jumble and Jargon

This page

of unnecessary words

cloud

my foggy mind (at best).

Knowledge gained leaves me 

empty, lost;

reading, searching,

aiming to please the Elysian folk.

Must I ascern a certain place

to be deemed acceptable?

How can I convey

superlative notions to

editors and buffoons alike?

Praise and validation of a 

certain standard

shape a life;

Am I impressive?

Hell, am I relevant?

lovely... can relate to it easily... every para is just brilliant... thanks for sharing

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i like this...the life of a poet...acceptance, rejection, the feeling of triumph as we write something that feels good, and then the crashing down when some editor tells us "this is nice, and thanks for trying, but this does not fit with our magazine" in other words....get better and then send us more.

and who are they? but people who probably can't write something of their own very well and make themselves feel better by shooting others who can write, down.

Thank you, Jacob. Lovely to see you (and read you) again

[roarke]

yep, yep, and of course. I think you are on the right track, the answer is in the creative word. Nice piece.

Thank you for your kind words, Roarke.
